How to get from the airport to the city centre?

There are buses that run pretty much most of the day, although you might find yourself waiting an hour if you have just missed one bus. Buses are the easiest and cheapest way to get into the city even if you have baggage, the only downside is that you have to go by their timetable. Taxis are another alternative, however they are a lot more money compared to the 2 or 3 euro ticket fare for the bus. If you do choose a taxi make sure you agree on the price before getting in. Finally, you could opt to rent a car from the airport. This makes more sense if you are planning to explore the island, otherwise you might find it more of a burden.
